In this work, we delve into the key physical processes that govern magnetic fields and their evolution within neutron stars. Our investigation encompasses several crucial aspects: The fundamental properties of the matter constituting neutron stars. Understanding the extreme density, pressure, and composition of this matter is essential for accurately modeling the behavior of magnetic fields within them. Competing processes of the origin of powerful magnetic fields. We explore various hypotheses for how these fields may have formed during the birth of a neutron star or through subsequent processes. The limitations and mechanisms that influence the change of the magnetic field over time. This includes factors that may cause the field to weaken or strengthen over time, as well as potential instabilities that could play a role. A detailed analysis of the Hall drift. This specific phenomenon, where charged particles are separated due to a combination of their motion and the magnetic field, can significantly impact the evolution of the overall field.
